    Depending on your Palm device, this is most-certainly going to be
    incorrect. Some Palm devices use the odd-numbered USB endpoints for
    communication, and you've limited it here to the even-numbered ones. If
    you're connecting a lot of Palm devices, or using a USB hub where the
    ports are enumerated differently, this will also fail (ttyUSB9 for
    example). 
    
    I've seen this introduced upstream in many distributions, and have
    raised it with their package maintainers several dozen times as being
    incorrect, but it seems the issue is still propagating. 
    
    The correct syntax should be:  KERNEL=="ttyUSB*"
